Pros and cons of 8player Pro app for iPhone and iPad
8player Pro app good for
Hey dev, do you plan to add chromecast support ?
This would be something really great !
Outstanding for remote controlling beosound 5/Beosound master in any format including wma and flac lossless. Volume control is now available. The best app ever tested in that field.
With this app Apple TV speaks dnla. Finally a reason why
Apple TV 4 is better than 3 :)
Since the SMB support update this app is superior to vlc, as it is possible to use domain authentification.
I have m4v variable rate videos on my NAS with a twonky server. This plays those files very well, which is more than I can say for my samsung blu-ray player. If apple decides to enable 3rd party apps on AppleTV, I hope this gets ported.
I stream videos off my WD live hub. This app plays everything I have with no issues. Love the app.
Some bad moments
It used to work perfectly prior to the last update... But since, a lot of bugs in terms of sound and some codecs dont seem to be supported anymore...
Update???
Bought this expensive app´for the subtitle support but it does ont work!!!
Shame. Because of the automatic update I cannot have anymore the old version that had more features
I bought 8p only because of the video performance, which clearly has gotten unnaceptably bad after the last update. Sound is not synchronized with video clearly because it suffers to decode video.
There are plenty of other software options better than this one.
Nao perca seu tempo e dinheiro, existem outras opcoes mais baratas que fazem o mesmo e ate melhor.
I would give more Stars but since the update most movies have no sound anymore !!! I will delete it and search for a better one !!
